Answer:

x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a secant and a tangent from an external point to the circle, then

the product of the external part and the entire secant is equal to the square of the measure of the tangent , that is

2(2 + x) = 10² = 100 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2 + x = 50 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 48
